BPOV
I stepped out of the taxi that had brought me to Dartmouth. That plane ride had been the longest one I had ever been on and I couldn't wait to get to my room and collapse on my bed. I wonder if my roommate is here yet.
"Thank you!" I called to the driver after throwing him a twenty for the five minute drive. If all taxi's cost that much here, I will definitely be taking the bus whenever I want to go anywhere.
I pulled my lone suitcase out of the trunk -- aren't the drivers supposed to do this? – and began walking towards the school . My other suitcase had "been put on the wrong plane, we will ship it to you as soon as we find it free of charge." The irritating looking woman had smiled when she said this as if I was supposed to be grateful that I wouldn't have to pay to have them ship the suitcase they lost to me.
I stomped over to the front office my mood sinking lower and lower with each step. By the time I got to the door I was stomping, my feet slapping against the floor so hard the sound echoed through the room. To make matters worse the guy behind the desk was looking at me funny. Great, the first guy I see here thinks I'm psycho, not that I care.
"Hello," I slid up to the pine desk smelling tuna and coffee as I did. I wrinkled my nose; I hate the smell of coffee. "I'm Isabella Swan, could I get my dorm number and key please?" I tried to sound polite, but I failed miserably because at that second this guy was literally staring at my chest. I blushed looking away from him to see if there was anyone else I could talk to. There wasn't.
I narrowed my eyes and barely kept from stomping my foot again in frustration. "Oi! Hello? I said. "Can I please get my dorm key!?!" I'm pretty sure I spit on the guy, but I honestly didn't care at this point.
The pervert shook his head quickly, clearing his throat, "Of course, what's your name?" He said in a voice that sounded like it was intentionally lowered. He might be trying to sound sexy but in reality he sounded like a constipated bull frog.
"Bella Swan." I snarled through my teeth. Could my day get any worse?
"Ah, yes. You are in room 304 with Edward Cullen," dang it so much for hoping for a girl roommate. Edward sounds like a geek too. "And… Jacob Black." I froze.
"Wait, what? Back up, why do I have two roommates?" Whoever is responsible for this is going to be murdered in their sleep. Tonight.
"Well, Jacob and Edward were roommates last year so they probably just squeezed you in with them when they ran out of rooms." If one more thing goes wrong I am going back to Forks faster than Dorothy can click her heels. "Oh and by the way, Jake and Edward hate each other." The pervert smirked. Apparently, he thought this was funny. "But, you know my room is right down the hall from you, so if you ever get fed up with them, you are welcome to come and sleep with me."
"In your fucking dreams, pervert." I said as I snatched my key off the desk and stomped away as fast as I could without tripping.
300, 301, 302, 303…
I walked up to my door and shoved my key in with so much force it almost broke. When I opened the door I was relieved to see that the room was empty of any other people. I really need to calm down before I meet Edward and Jacob or I won't make a very good impression.
The boxes that had been delivered here before I came were sitting in the corner next to the bed closet to the window. I dragged my suitcase to the side of the bed and collapsed, not even bothering to take in the rest of my surroundings. All I need is a nice, long nap… and with that thought, I fell asleep.

"You do not get that bed! We agreed to keep the same beds we had last year remember, dog?"
"That was before I knew she was our new roommate, I want that bed now."
"Why so you can fondle her while she sleeps you senseless pervert? We each keep the bed we have and that's it, no more arguments! You're going to wake her up with your screaming!"
I groaned and rolled over. Charlie must have left the TV on again last night. I was always waking up to the nonsense that thing made.
Opening my eyes, I looked around to see two guys standing at the foot of my bed. "What the hell!?! Who are you?" I screamed, falling off my bed in my panic. That's when I noticed that I wasn't in my room. I looked around at the small space. There were three twin beds lining the wall. The one I had been on was next to the window which looked out on a courtyard which was currently void of people.
Where am I? Did I sleepwalk into someone else's house? I was well-known for sleep talking but never sleep walking. Oh, terrific what a great way to start college with a new annoying sleeping habit. Wait… college… Oh snap!
The handsome bronze haired boy cleared his throat, "Well, I'm Edward Cullen, your roommate." He smiled, the simple action taking my breath away. He was more than gorgeous, he was inhuman. His green eyes caught mine and wouldn't let go. I felt myself begin to get lost in their depth. This boy was amazing.
The other russet boy stepped in front of Edward, breaking my trance. "And I am Jacob Black, your other roommate." Before I could say or do anything, he swept me into a warm hug. I laughed as he swung me around, off my bed.
When he finally put me down, I patted my hair to make sure it wasn't a complete mess. "I'm Bella. It's nice to meet you two." My eyes made their way back to Edward, who was scowling out the window for some reason. "Would either of you be interested in showing me around the school? I'd like to get to know the campus before classes start." I looked pointedly at Edward, hoping he would volunteer first. Unfortunately just as Edward opened his mouth, Jacob agreed.
"I'd love to show you around Bella! I know this campus inside and out already so it's really no problem." Jacob's smile was so huge I couldn't help but smile back, it was contagious. At the same time there was still a part of me that wished Edward had spoken up first.
"Actually Jacob, don't you have that mandatory student council meeting you have to go to?" Edward's eyes sparkled and he winked at me, before turning to Jacob with his eyebrows raised.
"Damn, I forgot about that. Bella, would it be okay if I showed you around later after this meeting? I'm student vice president so I have to be there." Jacob looked at me hopefully. I almost wanted to say I'd wait but then I remembered Edward and knew that I really wanted to go with him.
"I'd really like to go now, but thanks Jake. Edward, can you show me?" I tore my eyes away from the dejected boy to look at those startling green eyes again.
"I'd be honored Bella. We can start with the cafeteria. I'm sure you're hungry after that long plane ride." He smiled and held out his arm for me to take.
"I'm absolutely starving!" I grinned back and walked out of the room with the beautiful man on my arm, not looking back once.
Maybe Dartmouth won't be that bad.
